Little Levi

I haven't posted anything for a few months about either of my kiddos, so here's an update!

Levi is 20 months old and is quite a chatty little guy, though most of it is babbling still. He does say some words.
Agua/gagua - water
Hola - hi
Dedeta - Rebekah
Leli - Levi
Dadda
Mamma
Jesu - Jesus
go
du - duck/dog
cak - quack
mow - meow
mo- moo
Abuelo
Abuela
Weta - Weston (a cousin)
bye/buh-bye
bubu - baby
ca - car
anen - amen

Levi also has certain phrases that he kind of says, like his own a version of "here you go mamma", "there it is", and "all done". He also knows a few signs - eat, all done, more, etc. that have proved very helpful.

It is so fun to see how well Levi understands us and how he can follow instructions (when he wants to). One of our favorite things is that when we say that it's time to pray Levi immediately bows his head and folds his arms. He really loves prayers and sometimes folds his arms for prayer several times through one meal. Yesterday he was fussing about something and finally I realized that he wanted to say a family prayer. Seriously. He went to the rug in the family room and kneeled down, folded his arms and bowed his head. How sweet and tender.

Some of Levi's favorite things are climbing onto everything, playing with cars, digging in the mud, being outside, following mommy around to be held, looking at dog books, playing/wrestling with Rebekah. He is such a curious, affectionate, happy little guy. I love his little personality and am so glad that it has begun to show!
